Draslík - Muscle and Nerve Function

Potassium is a key mineral supporting many essential functions in the body, including the heart, nervous system and electrolyte balance. It helps regulate fluid balance, muscle contractions and nerve signals. As an important element of daily health, it is recommended that adults consume between 3,500 and 4,700 mg of potassium per day, depending on age and health.

What are the best sources of potassium?

  • Natural sources: Bananas (about 420 mg per medium banana), spinach (about 839 mg per cup), and sweet potatoes (about 541 mg per medium potato) are excellent sources of potassium. Avocados (about 975 mg per avocado), oranges (about 237 mg per medium orange), and coconut water (about 600 mg per cup).
  • Dietary Supplements :

Since most people are deficient in potassium in their diet, it is important to include these foods in your diet, not only for their potassium content, but also for other important nutrients. In addition, these foods are a better choice than supplements because they provide other important nutrients.

The best forms of potassium supplements

  • Potassium citrate and gluconate are among the best forms of potassium supplements due to their high absorption capacity and gentleness on the stomach. The maximum recommended dose per capsule is usually 99 mg, as high doses can be dangerous, especially for people with kidney or heart problems.

  • What does potassium do in the body? Potassium is essential for maintaining proper heart function, muscle contraction and transmission of nerve signals. An interesting fact is that potassium also helps lower blood pressure by counteracting the effects of sodium.

Potassium is an essential mineral that is widely present in many food sources. Particularly high amounts can be found in some types of fruit and vegetables and especially in bananas. Potassium is an important factor, together with sodium, for the balance of electrons and cellular fluids, as well as for maintaining ph balance. It is also essential for proper muscle contraction, proper heart function, and the transmission of nerve impulses. Potassium in the form of citrate is well absorbed and represents a bioavailable form of potassium.
